Personally, extending status for 6 months really doesn't mean much, unless they are going to give me addtional SWUs. My spot on the upgrade list would be low since my EQDs will have fallen off a cliff.
exactly this, and combined with previous post about tight travel budgets—I think extending status is the smarter play.
